District Music Festival — Brass Music as a Popular Movement

The Allgäu-Schwäbischer Musikbund (ASM) is one of Bavaria's largest brass music associations with over 200 clubs. Each year, a different club hosts the »Bezirksmusikfest« — a mix of a large folk festival, competition performances for the participating bands, and a parade. In 2026, this honor falls to the Oberostendorf Music Association, which is hosting the festival for the 69th time in the district's history.

Oberostendorf in Ostallgäu

Oberostendorf is a small Allgäu municipality in the Ostallgäu district (Bavaria), located between Kaufbeuren and Marktoberdorf. With around 2,000 inhabitants, the village has a very active music association that prepares the District Music Festival with great effort — the festival tent is erected two weeks before the festival and dismantled one week after it ends.

What's on Offer

5 Days of Festival Tent: Thursday to Monday
Day of Clubs and Businesses (Thursday): free admission, four local orchestras hourly
Band Nights: Die Schlenkerer, Speckdrum, Waidigel, Innsbrucker Böhmische, Mardermusik
Bar Stage: DJ Schotte, Dozer, Licky Fiz, Die Schlanzer on the nights
Sunday: Festival service, eight regional bands, mass choir, parade, competition results
Star March to Conclude: traditional march of several bands to the festival tent

District Music Festival Tradition

The combination of folk festival, competition performances, and parade is typical of the Southern German brass music culture. While the clubs perform their pieces for judges during the day and collect ratings, the festival tent is the place for joint celebration in the evening. The star march on Monday — where several bands march into the festival tent from different directions — is living musical tradition.
